    Boys on a boat? Stop living in the past pisssnow. You were not even there, only race was there

    I've met them IRL when they were in their early 80s you bonio. And there's a direct lineage from those boys to all the crews that came in their wake.
    Seems like you THINK and CARE.


    A lot.

    Let's just hope and pray it doesn't suck. Could be wonderful branding for UW if it's decent.

    Sure, we've had better overall teams in years past, but 2023 presents the greatest marketing opportunity ever for UW.

    1) Boys in the Boat hits movie theaters on December 25th and Clooney gets wins Best Director Oscar

    2) Our first ever legit Heisman Trophy candidate

    3) Serious CFP contender

    It all starts on Saturday. Beat OU - Nothing Else Matters!


    Napoleon Kaufman wasn't a legit candidate?
    I don’t think he had nearly the national attention that Penix gets. A lot of reasons for that (more than five). The PAC-10 knew him well but outside of the conference I think he was just another great runner.

    Ended up second team All-American and ninth in Heisman voting.

    Emptermann was a more legit candidate than Kaufman.
    Silence!

    1. Very excited for the movie. What do you think of Edgerton cast as Ulbrickson? I’m a big Joel Edgerton guy. Doesn’t take bad gigs

    2. I’m trying to warn everyone here—no one out west has a shot if Michigan goes 13-0. The maize and blue national media will make sure it goes to their boy JJ, even though he’s a JAG in a run-heavy offense

    I continue to hold out hope that due to #1 we see not some random Seattle mini-celeb as the Gameday guest picker, but George fucking Clooney.

    I doubt it since it's not a Disney movie, but still.

    My sweat pants would not be able to hold in that boner @whlinder

    It would be the great guest picker of all Tim!
